2. FILLER - MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

• The filler material ( < 0.075 mm) may consist of a combination of fines from the crushing of
aggregates and added fines from other sources. The added fines must consist of either crushed
limestone, cement or other material accepted by the client.
• The filler must be dry and free of lumps and if it fits with sieving according to SNI 03-4142-1996
material that passes sieve no.200 is not less than 75% of its weight.
3. BITUMEN - MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

• The penetration value must be between 145 and 210 at 25°C for a penetrating mass of 100 g in
5s.
